The Geometric Chain - Ladder
نویسنده
چکیده
The log normal reserving model is considered. The contribution of the paper is to derive explicit expressions for the maximum likelihood estimators. These are expressed in terms of development factors which are geometric averages. The distribution of the estimators is derived. It is shown that the analysis is invariant to traditional measures for exposure.

The usual chain ladder metlwd is a deterministic claims reserving method. In the last years. o stochastic loglineor approximation to the chain ladder method hav been u~rl by several authors especially in order to quantify the variability of the estimated claims reserves. Although the reserves estimated by both merAo& are clenrly diflerent. rk logknenrapproxi-mation has been called " chain ladde...
متن کاملWhen Can Accident Years Be Regarded as Development Years?
The chain ladder (volume-weighted average development factor) is perhaps the most widely used of the link ratio (age-to-age development factor) techniques, being popular among actuaries in many countries. The chain ladder technique has a number of interesting properties. We present one such property, which indicates that the chain ladder doesn’t distinguish between accident years and developmen...
متن کاملModified Munich Chain-Ladder Method
The Munich chain-ladder method for claims reserving was introduced by Quarg and Mack on an axiomatic basis. We analyze these axioms, and we define a modified Munich chain-ladder method which is based on an explicit stochastic model. This stochastic model then allows us to consider claims prediction and prediction uncertainty for the Munich chain-ladder method in a consistent way.
متن کاملCredibility for the Chain Ladder Reserving Method
We consider the chain ladder reserving method in a Bayesian set up, which allows for combining individual claims development data with portfolio information as for instance development patterns from industry-wide data. We derive the Bayes estimators and the credibility estimators within this Bayesian framework. We show that the credibility estimators are exact Bayesian in the case of the expone...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Reliability Analysis Using Petri Nets and Ladder Logic Diagrams
In this paper the dynamic modeling of repairable and standby components of complex systems is analyzed using Petri Nets and ladder logic diagrams. The use of Petri Nets as modelling of a complex system avoids two basic disadvantages of Markov chain analysis. First, the Petri Net model does not grow in size as increasing the number of components and second, Markov chain has been limited to the e...
